Website creation software

Today in website development market so many software available that allow the great features to create a website. As per the website creation software concern i am preferred with PHP because it is an Open source software.

For e-commerce websites, I won't recommend to buy a website. Hire a professional and affordable company who can built your website. CMS will be a great idea because at later stage you can yourself can do some editing.

While developing a website you can get some applications added too which on buying you can't get.

I would like to piggy back on this question. I am looking to design a website only to showcase my work(construction/deck building) and link to product information pages.

I`m hoping that you are asking as to what might be included in an "informational site" vs an "e-commerce site".

I`m hoping that you are not thinking of designing your own site.

If thats the case ... may I ask one question ...

Why do you design and build decks? Why not just give folks the designs, sell them the lumber & supplies ... and they can build their own.?

Why? Because you are a professional !! And you know how to build a deck well.

Thats the same reason why you have a design team design, impliment and maintain your web site.

I learned way back when ...

Do what you do best best .... and contract out for everything else.

Now that we`ve settled that. What exactly are you looking do with this "informational site"?

Woah boss! With all do respect, I do see you are a professional but this is still a site basically for people to teach themselves. I do understand your stress with the issue of people all over trying to do their own web designs, as I am a web developer also.

I think all of us professionals here on this site should be willing to offer atleast 3 senteneces of helpful text and then we can pitch. My philosophy and basis of my business is to get them started, build the relationship and trust, and then upon proving yourself beneficial to their business, is when you are rewarded with their business.

With that said I offer the carpenter and anyone else to read into Joomla. I turned my wife onto Joomla this month and since she has created www.techteacheronline.com. I had to many other pages to play webmaster too. We needed her to have a professional looking solution that she could learn quickly. We also needed a solution that she would be able to maintain with out any programming knowledge. Joomla fit this criteria perfectly. It also needs to be said that having no website in 2006 is bad, but having an ugly/outdated website in 2006 is even worse. Please take as much pride as you have in your business into your website also. I could not stress enough... how important the appearance, function, and benefits of your web presence are to your business.

Well, it is good to see you wanting to build your own website and having full control of layout is very important, but you also want something that is easy to edit/upgrade and won`t take your focus off of your business.

If you are looking for a complete all-in-one website builder with shopping cart, I suggest SiteWebBuilder.com, because you want to make sure that building your own website is right for you. You can try the online eCommerce site builder for 10 days free and/or have a 100% money back with 30 days if you are not happy.

Plus, you can always hire them to build a professional looking site for $399 and it will be done in 10 business days if you want a specific custom feel to your site.

They have a 24/7 technical support team that can help you, so I am wishing you the best for you new venture!

This is really informative and useful conversation about the Website creation/building software. I found that without professional person's help you can't able to build top notch professional looking website. If your budget is lower than you can purchase a custom template and get the help of developers/freelancers which will help you to build a website at good price point.
